Right, but AFAIK he wants to wrap panes inside this, which would make it recursive.

I don't need it any more, I've created a bunch of it statements with which I created the desired effect. Not very nice/readable, but it works.

Based on a setting I want to have one of the following 2 pieces of html:
(It's nested, but not recursive.)

<% if case=1 %>

<% If case=1 Then%>

[div]
    [div id=pane1 runat=server/]
[/div]

<% Else %>

[div class=both]
    [div id=pane1 runat=server/]
    [div id=pane2 runat=server/]
[/div]

<% End If %>


But I quickly learned that even though both pane2 divs can never exist simultaniously, .net thinks there is a duplicate pane2 id.


Because I know filing bug-reports at Microsoft is futile, It would have been nice if this had worked:

[div id=wrapper runat=server dnn_ignore=true]
    [div id=pane1 runat=server/]
<% If case != 1 Then
      wrapper.Attributes.Add("class", "both");
%>
    [div id=pane2 runat=server/]
<% End If %>
[/div]



But it doesn't as dnn_ignore does not exist and #wrapper is turned into a pane (which also happens to change it's ID to something like #dnn_ctr684_wrapper, so wrapper.Attributes.Add fails with a nullpointer exception)

So now I had to write this (working) code:
<% If case = 1 Then %>
[div]
<% Else %>
[div class=both]
<% End If %>
    [div id=pane1 runat=server/]
<% If case != 1 Then %>
    [div id=pane2 runat=server/]
<% End If %>
[/div]

(The actual code is a little more complex and contains 3 if statements and it gets more complex quickly.)
